Between Two Seasons (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798991365642)

"...a fine and funny novel populated with characters and scenes you won't soon forget. Deftly balancing humour and heart, MacDonald writes with a deep understanding of the human species."- Terry Fallis, two-time winner of the Leacock Medal for Humour"It's one of those rare novels that will make you laugh so much you won't even notice it's also about to break your heart.- Amy Jones, bestselling author of We're All in This Together

Haunted by regret and stalled by guilt, Alex Chambers arrives at Silver Springs Health and Rehabilitation Centre searching for redemption. What he finds instead is Mae Seasons-a sharp-tongued, fiercely independent resident with no interest in being anyone's project.

Alex came hoping to make amends for the mistakes of his youth, especially to the woman he once hurt. But when that hope slips away, he's drawn into an unexpected role: caregiver and reluctant confidant to Mae, whose irreverence hides a lifetime of buried truths.

As days at Silver Springs unfold in their strange, often absurd rhythm, Alex is forced to confront the tangled grief of his past. Through awkward silences, reluctant confessions, and moments of startling vulnerability, he and Mae forge an unlikely friendship-one stitched together by shared loneliness, reluctant compassion, and the possibility of healing.

At once poignant and quietly humorous, Between Two Seasons is a story about the lives we try to outrun, the people who challenge us to face ourselves, and the surprising ways connection takes root.
